    Good for the price, Great for everything but gaming. With the games released now expect low-mid settings leaning more toward the low. Older games 2010> it will do just find on high with the exception of crysis which will play on low-mid.

    If you want to game while keeping costs down I recommend this

    Amazon.com: Acer AS5552G-7632 15.6-Inch Laptop (Mesh Black): Computer & Accessories

    It costs $100 more however.

    That looks to be a computer configuration aimed at price, not performance.

    Study this notebookcheck table to see how the P360 CPU ranks (currently #144) and this table to see how the 5470 GPU ranks (also currently #144). Look down this page to see how the 5470 GPU performs in various games.
